Hey bitmap, thanks so much for the reply.
I would like the ability to handle transcoding, especially as you mention when you can’t control the clients.
I can certainly afford more powerful hardware but I want to avoid overbuying for performance I won’t need or use. I’ve seen setups on the extreme high & low end but I don’t know what’s realistic/practical.
Could you explain why you recommend getting something as recent as I can afford?
Also, is there a reason why you specifically mentioned the $80 machine? I was leaning towards the $70 due to the RAM but I’m not as knowledgeable.
Thanks for the heads up on acquisition; I should have known better and have edited my post.
